Before We Pour
Everything you need to know about your candle-making experience.
Crafted for Curiosity
We believe the ritual of making is as meaningful as the object created. Our workshops are intimate, unhurried, and grounded in working with your hands.
An afternoon you'll remember long after the wax sets.
Each session is personally led by me, founder of Vigueur Fragrances, in a space designed for slowness. You’ll leave with a candle blended to your own taste- and a new understanding of how scent shapes memory.
Questions, Answered
Before You Arrive
Because we’ll be working with warm wax and fragrance oils, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a little wax on. Aprons are provided for every guest, but it’s always best to come prepared.
Your reservation includes one candle, but you’re welcome to pour an additional candle during your session. Just let me know in advance, and I’ll have everything prepared for you. Additional charges apply.
Nothing at all. Your workshop includes all materials, tools, aprons, and packaging, so everything will be ready when you arrive. We’ll also have refreshments waiting for you.
General
Our workshops last approximately 90 minutes and are intentionally small, relaxed, and hands-on. I’ll guide you through each step, from blending your own fragrance to pouring your candle, so you can enjoy the process, spend time with the people you’re with, and leave with a candle that reminds you of the experience long after it’s over.
The Workshop
Workshops last approximately 90 minutes. We recommend arriving about 10-15 minutes early to get settled so we can begin together as a group.
Your candle will need approximately 90 minutes to cool and solidify before it’s ready for travel. Once it’s carefully wrapped, you can take it home the same day. For the best fragrance experience, we recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours before lighting it for the first time.
Absolutely. Creating your own fragrance is one of the most memorable parts of the experience. You’ll explore our curated fragrance collection and blend a scent that’s uniquely yours before pouring your candle. I’ll guide you through the process, offering suggestions along the way while leaving the final blend entirely up to you.
Booking & Cancellation
We offer a full refund for cancellations made more than 72 hours before your session. Cancellations within 72 hours may be transferred to a future date, subject to availability.
Yes. Private workshops are a wonderful way to celebrate birthdays, bridal showers, team gatherings, date nights, and other special occasions. If you’re planning an event, I’d love to help create an experience tailored to your group. Simply get in touch to discuss availability and pricing.
Every candle we make begins not with wax, but with a memory.
